Secondary Schools in Bexley

Schools for 11 - 18 year olds

There are 17 Secondary Schools in Bexley LA, including four selective schools, one bilateral school with a selective stream, five schools which admit on a religious basis and a community business academy. Admission to the selective schools and the selective stream is based on ability and aptitude. Bexley holds selection tests during the autumn term which decide the children who should be offered places at selective schools. Admission to other schools is without reference to ability. Applications for admission to the denominational schools are handled by the governing bodies of those schools.

Guidelines are produced annually, by the LA, which give the admissions policy and details of each schools.
